Did you say you wanted to go to the BEACH? |

Avalon beaches were voted by The Washingtonian the safest for swimming out of 30 beaches visited!
The magazine called it "the Best Beach in New Jersey", with its gentle surf, natural dunes, a wide beach, and good life guards. It even has a small and well maintained boardwalk.
Only 3 1/2 hours from Washington and 30 minutes from Atlantic City, it's convenient to get to or from for a short or long visit.
Beach chairs specifically designed for the handicapped, which are also known as Surf Chairs, have been donated by the Women's Civic Club of Avalon. They are available by reservation at the following locations:
